In such a case, the tooth may be saved by giving post and core to the patient. Post will provide strength to the tooth. if there is loss of large amount of tooth structure, then extraction of roots may be required if roots are infectious. After extraction, the missing tooth can be replaced with implants or fixed bridges. For more info on tooth extraction, you can refer to the following article..http://www.identalhub.com/article_ways-of-tooth-extractions-150.aspx.

My dentist was performing a root canal and got the file stuck in it. He tried to drill it out but failed. They sent me to a specialist to see if they can take it out. She didn`t touch it because she said the tooth was drilled severly and that if she drills more it would fracture the tooth. She also spotted that I have (chronic periodontis with endo failure). I have no clue what that means. I went back to my dentist and he said I am going to loose the tooth. I am afraid now because I have uncontrolled diabetes and what if something else severe happens. Would you consider this to be the dentist fault??

No the root canal is not a dead tooth but if you have a dead tooth in your mouth then you must either fix it or be done with and extract,also having a rotten tooth in your mouth is bad for your body, and many problems result from this.If it`s an adult tooth, it`s not going to fall out on its own no matter how much you let "nature take its course". It could rot away to the point where you may think it`s gone. Hope my answer helps.

Nothing root canal just make the teeth stronger and it has nothing wrong to do with the tooth at young ages. It comes with the passage of time and it strengthens your teeth more. If you care about your teeth brush them daily and use a good tooth brush you do not have to worry about your teeth. Just keep smiling as much as you want. These are your teeth and they will look nice as long as you care about them. Let those who do not care be worried and keep smiling.

jessica2686 said: When the infection in the tooth reaches pulp, then root canal procedure is required. If you don't get root canal treatment, then the pain will aggravate and the infection may extend further and can cause abscess in the tooth. The tooth may become so damaged that it can't be saved and tooth extraction is required for it. For more info on complications if root canal treatment is not done, refer to.... http://www.identalhub.com/article_complications-if-root-canal-is-not-done--296.aspx

If tooth is infected before root canal treatment, then it is normal to have some pain and sensitivity for a week after root canal treatment. She can take meds as prescribed to her. Pain and sensitivity will probably be fine in other 2-3 days. If condition doesn`t regress, then you can take her to her dentist for evaluation.
